Steel birdsshot or buckshot will not penetrate body armor, while it also has not much difference in penetration the soft tissues. So, perhaps author meant slugs, since there exist non-lead(copper, brass, bronze, iron, steel) slugs which basically act as AP rounds. These ones are a real deal even against military armor.
Thank you! I forgot to take in account the body armor aspect of bird shot vs slugs. I’ll delete my comment. My brother was weapons specialist in the army. So I just poorly regurgitated what he told me to use for home defense back in 2020.
